(DENVER, Colo., 1/5/2005) Representative Andrew Romanoff, 38, (D) Denver plays with with his dog "Zorro", a border collie mix he adopted from the Aurora Animal Shelter. Romanoff is the new Speaker of the House and said jokingly he could probably learn a few tricks from Zorro adding, "he's a herding dog and I could use a few of those skills (at the legislature)". Romanoff has brought Zorro over to the Capital with him and actually allows Zorro a little "bipartisan play time" with State Treasurer Mike Coffman's dog "Buckley".

* REP. ANDREW ROMANOFF He is a policy wonk who hit the big time: Speaker of the House. The Denver Democrat has an Ivy League pedigree (undergrad from Yale, master's from Harvard), and he's sitting out this semester after completing 2 1/2 years toward a law degree at the University of Denver. Romanoff's aides joke that the 38-year-old bachelor doesn't have a life. "Um, he speaks to a lot of groups" they say. But he swears he does, reading, playing tennis, listening to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and spending time with Zorro, a border collie mix he adopted from the Aurora Animal Shelter. He figures he'll ask Zorro for some tips on leading the House. "He's a herding dog, and I could use a few of those skills" Romanoff said.
